Many of Slaven's high school friends gathered outside the Fairfield Municipal Court that afternoon.

"It's wonderful but sad that it takes this to get everyone together," Julian Slaven's friend, D.J. Hobbs, said.

The young crowed watched Williams and Frymire, whom many of them had shared classes with, take the stand.

"We grew up with both those girls. They were in our grade they always were friend with Julian and they were greedy and selfish and decided that they have no heart," Julian Slaven's sister, Taylor Slaven, said.

Investigators said the homicide was the result of a drug deal gone wrong, and they said an anonymous tip led to the arrests.

Police said Julian Slaven was due in court Thursday on a felony drug possession charge.
